Okay, I've just ordered some red and blue fairy lights for my apartment balcony, and I figured this could be a good place for people to show off their home decorations for finals.  Also it could be a good place to share ideas, and also let each other know where you got a particular item that someone may be looking for/inspired by. Let's out red and blue each other!

    There’s a few houses along my route to work that still have their fences painted in Dees colours from GF week in 2021.
     

    And good on them too. I for one will never stop celebrating our drought breaking 13th premiership #stillgiddy#

    I'll be erecting a flag a week in my driveway starting this coming weekend until. They stay up until we get eliminated or the next season starts 🤞🏻

    Too soon, Kat. TOO SOON. 😭

    Imho one should hold off decorations until the week leading up to the grand final. In 2018 I spent a king’s ransom on decorations and  pimped my house out before the prelim and there’s nothing more depressing than taking down decorations (at night so the neighbours don’t see you) while crying (softly so the neighbours don’t hear you).

    BTW, someone started a thread leading up to the 2021 GF called “Flying the Flag” which is the same as this. Maybe the mods can merge?

    Flag on the front porch will only go up after a win in the prelim, but will stay there until New Years Day if we win the big one. Same as 2021.

    Same in my neck of the woods. My large flag goes up this weekend as my neighbour is a Colliwobbles supporter and doesn't have one.

    If they did, I’d have a wee bit of fun in taking it down. Good old neighbourhood rivalry.

    Moved in to our new home in a very quiet neighbourhood on September 22nd, 2021. Reckon the area hadn’t been as noisy (certainly hasn’t since) as it was on the 25th 😝.

    First there was lots of yelling in delight, followed by lots of cussing, before 45 minutes of breaking the sound barrier that was the euphoria of the 3rd and 4th quarters.

    My kids had an absolute ripper of a time decorating in 2021, particularly in that final week leading up to the granny.  They were itching to do it in 2022, but I had to explain that mummy isn't so keen putting our team decorations up when our team are no longer in the hunt :-(

    2023 please no early exit and let the decorating be long, exciting and a conversation piece for our neighbours! These glorious colours deserve to be out and proud deep into September, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb & March!

    As an example - would this be going too over the top? (Link removed by mods)

    We used this company in 2018. The club owns the image & provided it to us to use for the final’s campaign. The image was not shared for a private company to continue using so we wouldn’t be encouraging anyone to get this made up.

    Love this thread. It was amazing to see the city painted red and blue in 2021. Got my colours out once we were in the prelim in 2021. Glorious times.

    If we make the grand final, I’m happy to hook people up with red and blue ribbons curtesy of my work. 
    But we gotta make the grand final first. No jinxing around here!

    Mr T  get ready for the 14th   and put a point on your stick for your neighbour,  Thursday next week will tell the tale. Win that and we are close to the 14 th Flag.

    I cannot get there for this one, but have a large TV,   Grand Final, if we get there a complete other storey.   Cheers mate

    Poke your neighbour again !

    🙋‍♀️ I accidentally bought a kilometre of ribbon in 2021. I’ve long since run out since I take some with me to every match and oftentimes a little DA member will come down the front to say hello and go back to her parents with red n blue ribbons in her hair. 😁 No such thing as too much red n blue ribbon.

    My wife was dressing our back room with scarves, balloons, streamers on grand final afternoon in 2021.

    I was saying “too soon, too soon” I thought she was putting a moz on it. Shows you what I know

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
